Chapter 84 The Mastermind

two stayed by his side.At sunset on the second day, he left Fengxuan City with the Empress's decree in hand. He did not even pay respects to Zhao, the deputy general stationed outside the city, and he...After hearing the news, Lian Yi went to see Zhao Fenglin. In his office, she met a very affluent middle-aged man. The other party greeted Lian Yi with a smile and then left.

"Dad, who was that person just now"

"That is Wei Yongqiang, Wei Xinyi's father."

"Oh How is it him"

Ripple raised an eyebrow and asked.

He offended the Yang family because of what his daughter did and was ostracized from the Shanghai business circle. He had been drifting outside the circle before, but now that Yang Jun has gotten into trouble, he is preparing to return to Shanghai and seek cooperation with me.

Zhao Fenglin said faintly.

"Dad, I think it's better to be cautious. I feel like Uncle Wei is very ambitious."

Ripples said with a smile.

"I know."

"Back then, Wei Xinyi was in a car accident and disfigured. Dad, did you intervene in this matter"

Ripples asked directly.

"No, I'm too good to take out my anger on a girl."

Zhao Fenglin shook his head.

If we're being honest, the Wei family and our Zhao family aren't exactly strangers to conflict. So why would he seek a collaboration with us

Ripples asked curiously.

"Wai Yung-qiang thinks of Xian Rou as merely my adopted daughter, and since you've been found, it's not a matter of mortal enemies. He's a businessman, in his eyes there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, that's why he took the initiative to come find me."

I understand!

The user nodded, indicating they understood.

"Dad, what exactly happened to Yang Jun Why did things suddenly go wrong"

“I received a message that someone reported him for accepting bribes. He awarded a bidding project to a company whose qualifications were obviously insufficient. After the company took on the project, he started demanding exorbitant fees. As a result, the other party couldn't stand his greed and directly reported him.”

"Dad, do you believe it This bribery is illegal, and with Yang Jun's cautious personality, how could he have been caught It's even less likely that he would demand money afterwards."

"You and I analyzed it pretty much the same way. It's obviously someone targeting him. They said the money was found in his house, and it was cash. A portion was also found at his son's place, matching the figures provided."

"Wow! Solid evidence!"

Which company dragged Yang Jun into the water

"I heard it's an American foreign-funded company, probably connected through Yang Ziyi's girlfriend."

"Yang Ziyin's girlfriend The girl named Anna"

"Right Have you seen it"

I met him briefly at the party where my identity was first revealed, but we're not acquainted.

After the incident, the girl disappeared, and Yang Ziyin is searching for her all over the world.

This is clearly a scam.

With a flicker of her eyes, she spoke directly.

"Maybe! But it has nothing to do with us. Since I shifted the company's focus to the capital, our connection with the Yang family has dwindled. Plus, what happened with Lianrou... we're practically on the verge of a feud, so we only maintain superficial contact."

Zhao Fenglin spoke honestly.

I understand.

After finishing the gossip about ripples, she left Zhou Fenglin's office and started preparing for her trip abroad as usual. She also took some time to spend more time with Zhou Mengyu.

Since Lianrou left again, she completely cut off contact with her family in China. She didn't even contact Wu's parents anymore. This made the couple sigh constantly. Luckily, Wu Junyi was still quite promising. He did very well in university, achieving top marks in all his subjects. He also actively participated in social practice activities organized by the school to gain experience.

All of this is Wan Guifen's own doing. In the end, she ended up alienating her biological daughter and her adopted daughter only maintains a basic facade of civility with her. She can be said to have been like drawing water from a bamboo basket – wanting everything but getting nothing in return.

A few days later, Lian Yi took a plane to France. Unexpectedly, she saw Yang Ziyi on the plane. He was no longer as energetic and confident as before. He was wearing plain white shirt and black pants, with stubble all over his face and looking haggard. After sitting down, he rubbed his brow without even noticing Lian Yi sitting across the aisle.

Even ripples didn't want to interact with the other party, ignoring them throughout the entire journey. After the plane landed, they were immediately taken away by the person who came to pick them up.

This time, Ripple gave herself three years to compress all the courses and then absorbed knowledge like a sponge, plunging headlong into the sea of learning.

During those three years, she only returned to her home country once, and once again met Wei Yongqiang. This time, he wasn't alone; he was with his daughter, Wei Xinyi. His purpose remained the same: to cooperate with Zhao Shi.

Looking at the girl named Wei Xinyi in front of her, Lianyi's eyes flickered. Although this was their first meeting, the other person's posture and voice were strangely familiar to her. This time, she didn't rush to leave Zhao Fenglin's office. Instead, she stayed to keep him company and chatted casually with Wei Xinyi for a few words.

Not until Wei's father and daughter left did LianYi turn to Zhao FengLin and say:

"Dad, the plot against Yang Jun was hatched by the Wei family father and daughter. Wei Xin Yi is Anna."

"What How is that possible Anna is a Chinese-American and looks completely different from Wei Xin Yi!"

Zhao Fenglin was a little surprised, but still spoke to the point. After all, he had met Wei Yongqiang's daughter when they were in Shanghai before.

"Dad, don't you remember, there was a rumor that Wei Xinyi was in a car accident and disfigured. Can you see the scars on her face now"

"You mean she got plastic surgery, then got close to Yang Ziyi, dragging them both down"

Zhao Fenglin knocked on the table and said.

Yang Jun's matter had long been settled. He was dismissed and sentenced, with all his illegal gains confiscated. To protect the last bit of family assets, Pu Li filed for divorce, dividing their shared legitimate income, and then left Shanghai.

With the Yang family no longer holding sway, the Wei family began to rise again, bouncing with joy. They secretly said that this was retribution for the Yang family's evil deeds.

If you're not mistaken, Yang Jun's misfortune this time should be the revenge of the Wei family.

Zhao Fenglin stated directly.

"Nine out of ten."

Then I would be even less likely to cooperate with the Wei family, they are a poisonous snake!

Father and daughter pieced together the general outline of what happened here, mostly by guessing.

"Dad, I made such a big sacrifice this time and brought down the Yang family. How will you reward me"

Wei Xinyi asked directly.

"Before, the Wei family was suppressed, not because your plan failed, but because it implicated the family. Now you dare to take credit"

Wei Yongqiang said unhappily.

"Understood! Are you going to deal with the Zhao family"

Wei Xinyi pursed her lips and continued to ask.

"If we had tried harder before, things might have been different, but now it's too late! I want to cooperate with the Zhao family just to take their position in Shanghai. After all, they've shifted their focus to the capital, so we can grab a piece of the pie."

But I look at the Zhao family, father and daughter, they are not easy to deal with. Are they willing to cooperate with the Wei family

That's why we need to talk. We should also find someone to start with that girl Ripples, she's easier to handle abroad. Didn't you take advantage of Yang Ziyi being alone when he had no family

Wei Yongqiang said nonchalantly.t the first time I've been accused since entering Wenjia Fort."Second brother is interrogating Hong Ling'er, you and I should go take a look together!"Wen Shirui took a sip of tea and said."Okay, I'll...
